NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MetroPlus Health Plan announced today that it is opening new community
locations in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. The three sites will
serve as resource centers for New Yorkers to get answers to health
insurance program questions and receive assistance to enroll in plans
such as Child Health Plus, Medicaid, Qualified Health Plans and the
Essential Plan.

In Queens, the Flushing Skyview Mall will feature a MetroPlus kiosk to
help people find out if they are eligible for no-cost or low-cost health
insurance. A second kiosk will offer similar options at the Staten
Island Mall, the borough’s first MetroPlus location. And in Brooklyn, a
new MetroPlus community office has just opened in Sunset Park.

“We are delighted to be expanding our reach even further into the
communities we serve,” said Seth Diamond, Chief Operating Officer of
MetroPlus. “Being able to talk to a health care representative in your
own neighborhood while you’re out taking care of all the things busy New
Yorkers need to get done is a great convenience for people, as we have
witnessed by the popularity of our other community offices,” he added.
He notes that there are now over 20 such sites throughout the five
boroughs.

Health care specialists who speak English, Chinese, Spanish, and a
number of other languages are available at most MetroPlus community
locations.

“We are committed to serving more of our members where they live and
work,” Mr. Diamond said, “and to helping enroll new members into the
affordable quality health insurance they deserve.”
